no you wont get charged a toll, but youd want to, because the camera near the gatehouse gets your plate, and you get a nice lil fine afterwards

apparently they dont have the authority to issue payment letters yet, this from "reliable" source

i don't believe it though...

There are no speed cameras on the M7, but *apparently* they CAN book you for speeding using basic maths:

Speed = Distance over Time.

Seeing as they have the toll plazas and cameras to match your plates to your e-tag (or to scan your plates and send you the bill if you don't have an e-tag) to figure out how much to charge you for the amount of the motorway you've actually used, they can easily figure how long it took you to get between any two (or more) toll plazas along the way.

And *apparently* they don't have to put signs up stating that there are speed cameras there, because there are no speed cameras as such...

ive been charged the toll plus 10 as well, letter came approx a month after i used it.

since then i have not paid for at least 2 months, cant find the letter (somewhere in the mess on my desk) and so now am hoping they will just let me off without paying since no reminder has been issued so far :yes:

(i doubt it though!)

no legislation exists in nsw to book people for a point to point speeding untill then your safe

cameras are going in very soon they were always planned

Ya, as fatz said, no such thing yet... Think I got my info from the M7 website... www.roam.com.au

Any truth to the following?

There are no fixed speed cameras on the M7.

You dont get charged a toll at all, if you dont have a tag.

that was true about the m2 up untill a few months ago, they admitted it on the news after they fixed the cameras. I went thru heaps of times before I got an etag and never got fined

I've averaged more than 100km/hr on the M7 a couple of times, and my letterbox has been clear.

If they have to advertise those Safe-T-Cams for trucks (which calculate average speed) then I can't see why they don't have to advertise it for passenger cars.

How many big accidents have there been on the M7? NSW legislation states that the authorities are only allowed to set up fixed speed cameras in known blind spots (I realise this didn't stop them with the Cross City Tunnel, but then again no-one drives through there anyway).

I don't want to be the guinea pig for it, but if I got picked up by a speed camera on the M7 or Cross City Tunnel I'd take it to court, claim they were installed illegally (due to the lack of "black spot" status) so the evidence isn't admissible in court. The burden of proof is on the prosecution, and so I'd like them to supply proof of my speeding without those photos.

And its not like the courts have any love of speed cameras - they've let quite a few people off because of that "checksum code on each photo being wrong" thing that was in the papers a few months ago, as well as when the Harbour Tunnel first opened and the speed cameras installed weren't an approved brand so those fines were overturned. With no other proof aside from evidence that is inadmissible, the defendants have generally won.

      Installing the fuel sender O ring in R34 GTT

      Wish I had this advice when I did my pump. It went in and out 3 or 4 times, and on the last time it snapped.

      CAM COVER BILLET HALF MOON RB RUBBER REPLACEMENTS

      Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them.

      Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.

      Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
